April 8th & 9th, 2004 a bloody day for all in Iraq. I made this post on April 9th. /snip/
The days preceding the 8th & 9th were not easy days. Things were heating up all over Iraq. On April 7th, I took a convoy through Baghdad. We had problems on Sword, blockage, IED's planted on the frontage road, ect... Then on April 8th & 9th the shit hit the fan. 
I know everyone has been watching the news, and I am sure there are some concerns. I still have not seen the news. I have been real busy to not be busy and have not had the chance to watch it. I hear what is going on up north and on my way down a few days ago, experienced a bit of it. I want to be truthful with everyone, but I don't want to cause undue fear. Yes it is getting hotter in Iraq. And if you will remember, I believe I told everyone that it was going to get that way several months ago. I wont lie to ya'll, our convoys are getting hit more often now. People are getting hurt, and some even killed. A few days ago, I heard a rumor that a convoy was hit and hit hard. I had several friends up there and was as worried about them as I am sure ya'll are about me. I found out it was a Turkish convoy and they had done something that they should not have done. It doesn't lessen the loss for their families, but understand, I will not leave a camp without escort. Yesterday, 3 convoys were hit. One was a KBR flatbed convoy from Arifjan. (read the rest here)

This post here was captured from a post I made some place else and is not in full. The first line says "April 8th & 9th, 2004 a bloody day for all in Iraq." I was trying to honor those that fell that day. I was there when this happend and it affected us all. If you would like to read the FULL post, then please go to http://blog.cindyiniraq.com/2009/04/09/a-moment-of-silence-please.aspx I don't know who put this here and really I don't mind. But please do not discount it becasue what is talked about happened 5 years ago. For some it was just yesterday and for those families that their loved one has STILL not been recovered, it is real and part of today.
of course. understood. welcome and thank you for taking the time to post a clarification.
